- Cynthia Erivo wowed audiences as Elphaba in Wicked
- The actor will reprise her role later this year, in Wicked: For Good
- But what else may fans recognize Erivo from?
For many fans, Cynthia Erivo burst onto our screens for the first time in the movie-musical, Wicked.
Compared to her co-star Ariana Grande’s huge global following, Erivo, 38, seemed comparatively relatively unknown when she took on the lead role of Elphaba in the Jon M. Chu-directed film.
But, of course, that’s far from the case.
Erivo has been on our screens for 15 years – and has also been the recipient of many awards in her lengthy career, including a Tony, an Emmy and a Grammy – as well as being Oscar-nominated twice.
